Midas Blenny and Diamond Goby... Compatible?

[Spork3245]

I've had the Diamond Goby for about 3 years now (90 gallon mixed-reef tank) and am contemplating getting a Midas Blenny. I've heard mixed things with gobies and blennies being in the same tank but have also heard that the Midas Blenny is a "bit different" as they stay higher in the water column compared to the Diamond Goby so there shouldn't be any issues. I'm more-or-less just looking for confirmation that there won't be any issues.

My current stock list...

1x One-Spot Foxface
1x Diamond Goby
1x Neon Cleaner Goby
2x Ocellaris Clowns
1x Royal Flasher Wrasse
1x Rose Band Fairy Wrasse
2x Cleaner Shrimp
3x Peppermint Shrimp
Various Snails for CUC

I also plan on getting 1 more wrasse (undecided what kind, leaning towards a McCosker's or something else that is orange or yellow in color) and a Royal Gramma. I also need to be sure that there's no compatibility issues with my other future purchases, especially the RG as my gf really wants one

I've been going back and forth with getting an Anthias (Sunburst) for about a month now but have ultimately decided not to as I worry I won't be able to feed him multiple times per day, so I think I've decided on going with a Midas Blenny instead.

I can't say for certain that you won't have any issues but I'm pretty sure you won't, at least from the Midas Blenny. Mine gets along with all of my other fish very well. I had a Hector's goby that one day dissapeared, I am assuming it died of old age as it was very mature when i got it. But anyway my MB gets along well with the following

Cherub Angel
McCosker's wrasse
Royal Gramma
Pair of Mocha Clowns
Matted File fish

The only issue I have in my tank is aggression from the Cherub Angel. He is my terrorist fish :hammer: He mostly comes out and chases my McCosker's wrasse and my female Mocha on occasion. But never the Midas Blenny, which gets along with all of the other fish.

If it were me I'd go for it! They're a great fish and I can promise you that it will get along well with the other two you are looking for.

Not a problem.
The Diamond will stay down low, and the Midas will be all over the place.
